Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I subbed in grapefruit since we didn’t have oranges. It was an ok substitution in a pinch, but the oranges would definitely be better.

    This is so simple and refreshing. A perfect foil for heavy sauce or meat. I'd add more mint if I made again, but otherwise perfect.

    Very refreshing salad. Three oranges sounds like a lot but the proportions as written are perfect. I only had two oranges (large ones though) and wished I had a bit more.

    I used ingredients from my CSA: Cara Cara oranges, cucumber, watermelon radishes, mint, olive oil and lemon juice dressing. Crunchy and refreshing
